I may be moving to North Dakota soon. I've lived in New England my whole life. What can /trv/ tell me about this state? How is it different from New England?
There's fucking nothing there.
Really?
yes its literally all farms. the capital has about 75k. theres nothing to see or do
It's extremely flat, extremely white and extremely rural. The biggest city is still just a podunk town, really.
My mom lives in Jamestown, it's a 5 minute drive from city limit to city limit and it's literally surrounded by hours and hours of wheat fields and cows.
Good luck with that.
What? Even Iowa has more shit to see.
lots of hunting and loose gun laws if that's your thing
general outdoors activities, there's not really mountains, but some forests and rivers to checkout out
maybe some indian casinos to check out?
desu I always thought those states were interesting because they aren't traveled at all. You have all these real travelers posting about Mongolia, but the plains are similar. Plus, I'm a buff for sacred sites and spiritual places. Most of my stuff is in South Dakota or bordering states, but all still interesting:
>Bear Butte: Lakota pilgrimage sight and it has amazing views of prayer flags and the flat plains surrounding it
>Bighorn Medicine Wheel, WY: Largest and one of the most ancient native astronomical observatories and spiritual centers, very sacred to many tribes
>Crazy Horse Memorial: Larger than Rushmore, never completed. Monument to a Lakota warrior
>Wounded Knee: Massacre site, and place where a native militia held an armed standoff with the police in the 1970s because their votes were manipulated (that may have also ended in massacre.)
>Devil's Tower: Just looks amazing, also a sacred site
>Porcupine: Supposed capital of the separatist Lakota Nation. The Nation has actually made some progress towards recognition as a country
The plains have a deep native history with some amazing sites. I recommend watching a movie, "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee," which I believe you can see free on youtube. It's got amazing scenery and nature, but I bet it could get boring after a while. It's definitely day-trip distance from interesting stuff.
